As expected, Arizona State lost senior safety Jordan Simone for the season.
In Saturday's second quarter against Washington, Simone raced from the defensive backfield to stop Washington's Marvin Hall, running down the sideline on a reverse. Simone made the tackle, but immediately grabbed his right leg.
Medical exams on Sunday revealed a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
A former walk-on, Simone is ASU's leading tackler. He's also one of three team captains, joining senior quarterback Mike Bercovici and senior receiver D.J. Foster, his roommates. Simone's voice was often the soundtrack of ASU's practices.
